The 53-year-old singer refused to perform on ABC’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ because the cast of reality TV show ‘Duck Dynasty’ were also on the bill.

Morrissey said he had cancelled his appearance because he could not perform on a show with people who “amount to animal serial killers.”

The former Smiths frontman is a well known animal rights campaigner, and is particularly outspoken on the subject, so it’s no surprise that he didn’t want to associate himself with the cast of ‘Duck Dynasty.’

The TV show follows the lives of the Robertson family in Louisiana, who became wealthy from their family-operated business, Duck Commander, which makes products for duck hunters.

Television network A&E didn’t comment on behalf of the Robertson family, but it is likely that they were aware of Morrissey’s actions.
